The correct answer is

combining

The sentence describes uniting "all the people of the nation into a single whole," so the blank needs a verb meaning "to bring together." Combining fits exactly — it means joining diverse elements into one unified whole.

"Segregating" means the opposite (separating); "residing" means living in a place; "complying" means obeying — none describe the act of unification.
